Everything Is Country
This is a 33min podcast from Wiradjuri man, Assoc. Prof Michael Shawn Fletcher, who explains how 'Everything is Country' and promotes the obligations of humans to care for nature and the ecosystem of which they are a part.
I see Country as the world around us, what we live in, but also ourselves, says Associate Professor Michael-Shawn Fletcher, descendant of the Wiradjuri, Director of Research Capability at the Indigenous Knowledge Institute and Assistant Dean (Indigenous) in the Faculty of Science at the University of Melbourne.
“Country recognises the role and the obligations that people have in the world around them. It doesn’t abstract the world from ourselves, it actually embeds us within the world around us and reveals the kind of reciprocity or the obligation that we have to the world in caring for it and looking after it.
